Basic HRC Program
The Basic Heart Rate Control Program lets you set a target for your
heart rate. The program adjusts the resistance to maintain your heart
rate within two beats per minute of the target heart rate while you
exercise. To use this program, you must enter your age and wear a
chest strap so your heart rate can be monitored throughout the
session.
Important: Consult your physician to determine the appropriate
target heart rate for your age and fitness level. If your physician
recommends a different target heart rate than the one that appears on
the display, use the navigational arrow keys to change the target heart
rate once you finish the warm-up period. Do not exercise over the
recommended range.
Basic HRC Program Tips
The Basic HRC Program enhances your overall cardiovascular fitness
levels to help you achieve your weight loss and fitness goals. Read
through the following tips before selecting the Basic HRC Program.
These tips provide general information regarding how the program
functions. For more information and exercise suggestions, refer to the
Precor web site at www.precor.com.
Important: Maintain a consistent stride rate above 56 strides per
minute. Automatic adjustments to the resistance cannot take place if
you drop below the minimum power requirements.
• The program provides a 3-minute warm-up period. During this
time, you may change the resistance, but you cannot change the
goal setting.
Note: When your target heart rate is achieved or the 3-minute
period elapses, the warm-up period ends and the program begins
at which point, you may change to a distance or calorie goal.
• The program automatically adjusts the resistance to keep your
heart rate at the selected target. After the warm-up period,
pressing the RESISTANCE arrow keys no longer affects the
resistance levels. Check the SmartRate display to see if you are
maintaining your preferred zone. Check the HEART RATE display
to determine your actual heart rate. For information about
understanding your target heart rate, refer to Heart Rate Features.
